Sixby that's an intriguing bow! Those limbs have some serious hook to them. Almost what I would call a multi-cam. That sure is a beautiful riser too! I'd love to shoot it.

Really pretty bow Sixby, I've been considering trying a recurve again for the added weight to see if it helps my shooting.

Thanks guys. I just started making this model late last year. The people that have bought them say that they are the best shooting recurve that they have ever shot. I am partial myself. It is a bow design that allows a foreward riser and still maintains a low brace and lots of speed. It is a true static and maintains perfect string angle due to the roll over of the hook , (cam) Very short working limb with fast return. this is the quietest recurve I have ever shot and customers say the same. I will be hunting with no silencers on the string. The 56 in onepiece has been pulled and shot at 32 inches and I reccomend it to 29.
I have had one major thing to overcome. I do build what is called a pretty bow. Somehow , every customer that I have had said that they never expected it to actually shoot better than they looked. But they really do. That is because God has been my instructor and inspiration, I have built them to be shooters first and then added the other. God Bless, Steve

Sal, I can't honestly answer that, I never weighed it. It lives in Spring Texas though. If you get down that way look up Steve Morris. He is a great friend and the owner of it. God Bless,
I have built several of these bows with Maccassar and they all are what I would call heavy , even with the slim lines. Withoug exception the owners have commented about them being extremely accurate. God bless, Steve

I've got a PSAX with an Ironwood riser that really lets you know your holding it.
I usually grab one of my Big Jims for a walk in the hills.... They weight about what the Widow limbs weigh    :)    
As far as accurate, weight is not as big an issue as grip and bow length for me. I shoot my longer bows a tad better than my short bows? I think it has something to do with big fingers and my release...

My new BW PSAV weighs in at a tad over 3# without quiver or arrows.
I have a free roaming, ranging mind -- sometimes it reports back to me...
